Ernakulam Fashion Street traders may be shifted to Ambedkar Stadium

The Irrigation Department is waiting for civic authorities to clear the encroachment on the canal for the restoration work to begin

After the failed attempt to rehabilitate the traders of Fashion Street to an area near the Ernakulam Maharaja’s College ground, the authorities are now toying with the idea of using the space of the Ambedkar Stadium near the bus stand of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation.

A team of officials from the Kochi Corporation, the Irrigation Department and the Greater Cochin Development Authority had carried out a joint inspection of the site to ascertain its suitability for rehabilitating the traders during the first week of January.
